Suffolk’s rock band, The Common, welcomes new members

Suffolk University’s rock band, The Common, is experiencing a revival this semester. After all the previous members graduated or left the group once the Spring 2026 semester ended, The Common had to be rebuilt from the ground up. The Common is one of Suffolk University’s many performing arts groups, meant to foster students’ passion for music, regardless of their area of study. The group typically plays shows for students and guests a couple times throughout the year, both on and off campus. They hold auditions every fall semester. “Just looking for an opportunity to play with people, and improve. I thought this would be a good way to do it because it’s a shared thing with the school, so it’s just a good opportunity for that,” said guitarist Ryan Mollica, a senior finance and accounting major. Living in a dorm, where space is limited and amplifiers are banned, doesn’t allow for a lot of flexibility when it comes to music.
